A Cartesian plane is a 2-dimensional, flat surface. The plane has two mutually axes that meet, at right angles, at a point which is called the origin. Conventionally the axes are horizontal (x-axis) and vertical (y-axis) and distances from the origin are marked along these axes. The position of any point in the plane can be uniquely identified by an ordered pair, (p, q) where p is the distance of the point along the x-axis (the abscissa) and q is the distance of the point along the y-axis (the ordinate).
